Marco Pipp

My experience taking the Interaction design and prototyping for XR was life-changing. It gives you not only an advantage in terms of knowledge and skills but also an open-mindedness and readiness for the future. If the future is unwritten, then this course gives you the words for writing it for the better.

Andrew Alderete

Chief XR Officer, CineConcerts LLC

This is a wonderful rock-solid foundation course that moves quickly, and requires a lot from students, but it is well worth it. I feel with confidence that I got my money's worth out of what I took (C#, XR Dev, Design). Another great element is the sense of community. I truly feel like it is a close-knit community of like-minded people interested in learning, sharing, helping, and having fun.
